Patterning - Term Value from Equation for Decreasing Arithmetic Pattern (Level 1)

This math topic focuses on determining the term values from equations representing decreasing arithmetic patterns. Each problem involves substituting a given value of \( n \) into a linear arithmetic expression to find the specific term in the sequence. The patterns shown include subtracting a scaled version of \( n-1 \) from a constant, requiring basic algebraic manipulation and calculation skills. This set of problems is designed to enhance students' abilities to work with and understand arithmetic sequences, particularly those that decrement, part of a broader category on advanced patterns and sums.
